NV why is every name taken

Great to see this discussed openly and the effect that it has on men. However, I was highly troubled that hair transplants were presented as now being a solely financial choice. A hair transplant necessitates long term use of finasteride, a drug that increases risk of prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction among others. It is a highly unregulated industry around the world (there are no formal specialist qualifications required to become a hair transplant doctor) and presenting it as only a financial decision plays into this highly commercial medical industry where the long term risks are suppressed. I hope you review this subject and present it with more adequate research soon.
